Station Nord

We are in Station Nord, another Danish military/weather station base. Accommodations are very comfortable. We slept in military barracks and even took showers!Today, we set a food trap and eventually captured an Ivory Gull. A transmitter was placed on the back and rings on both legs before setting the bird free. In the coming weeks it will be possible to follow its position on an internet website. This is very exciting because it is the first time Grea has put a transmitter on an Ivory Gull. Several Ivory Gulls that were ringed and studied four years ago are still here.We have just been told that our plane will take off in one hour for Bliss Bugt. There is no weather report available for this area of Greenland so in order for the pilots to see if they can land, they have to literally fly there.Bliss Bugt is the northern most location reachable by plane. From here our only means of locomotion will be hiking and skiing.
